Culture and Climate Priorities: Aligned SMART Goals:

Attendance/Chronic absenteeism

Step 1: Place an “X” beside the district’s 2016-17 climate-related reform priorities. Districts may choose, but are not required, to pursue strategies to strengthen district and school climate.

Please note that Alliance Districts with a 2014-15 chronic absenteeism rate exceeding 10 percent must pursue strategies to decrease chronic absenteeism.

The district will continue to implement comprehensive efforts to reduce the percentage of chronic-non-attenders. The

district will continue to utilize the student attendance team, which meets bi-weekly as a team (school resource officer, nurse,

admin., social worker, and parents) to address the needs of chronic non-attenders. Each school has an attendance team that

meets either weekly or every other week. Additionally, the district will continue to utilize the Kindergarten Parent Liaison

(OPM Grant & Alliance Grant) resource that educates, supports, and visits kindergarten parents if their children do not meet

expected attendance criteria at school. The parent liaison will the student attendance team meetings and communicate with

parents at Killingly Central School.

The percentage of chronic non-attenders at KCS will decrease from

12.2% in May 2016 to 9.9% in May 2017 as measured by average

daily attendance.

Create professional learning opportunities for various stakeholders relating to attendance. Administration and lead teachers

will utilize Attendance Works resources to develop informational sessions for parents and policy makers. Information

sessions will also be shared with attendance teams and faculty. A stipend will be provided for lead teacher to facilitate all

after school information sessions, for parents, community members, and other stakeholders. Information sessions will be

advertised and literature/brochures will be made available.

Decrease the district average chronic non-attender rates from

12.5% in the 2015-16 school year to 9.9% in the 2016-17 school

year.

Cost:


The district will contract with Continental Computer and EASTCONN to support central office efforts to collect, manage, and

analyze student achievement and attendance data in an effort to create a monthly report to monitor attendance team efforts.

Each month the consultant will download data from our SIS. He will analyze the data to check for inaccuracies. Then he will

provide a breakdown by demographic to identify trends among subgroups. The consultant will extract chronic non-attendance

data from PowerSchool and send it to each principal who will then share it with the Student Success Program Team.

The data management consultant will produce monthly attendance

reports for the district and individual schools. The data

management consultant will produce quarterly achievement

reports for the district and individual schools. The data

management consultant will download STAR data and organize

against PPS demographic data. This will result in the creation of a

monthly report for each school. Average daily student attendance

will increase by 10% from June 2016 to June 2017 .

Operations Priorities: Aligned SMART Goals:

Killingly Public Schools will purchase the following suite of universal screening assessment tools and intervention software to

support academic achievement: STAR Math, STAR reading, FASTT Math, and Accelerated Math. STAR Reading and Math will

be administered at three times a year. Accelerated Math and FASTT Math our supplemental resources to support students

achieving below benchmark. The annual license is about $33,000. KPS has begun to partial fund this resource through local

funding. Students will be administered the STAR Reading and Math three times a year. Students in middle school will utilize

FASTT Math to improve math fact fluency. Students in grades 5-10 will utilize accelerated math in a differentiated approach

to remediate skill gaps in mathematics.

We will attain an average 95% participation rate in STAR

assessments as measured by attendance in the fall, winter, and

spring screens of the STAR math and reading assessment. The

percentage of students achieving at benchmark (50th percentile) in

math will increase from 64% (Spring 2016 results) to 71% in 2017

as measured by the spring 2017 STAR math assessment.
